Where Does Persian Wool Sb pPed via
London Come From

Where Does Persian Wool Sb pped via
London Come From"
WASHINGTON, March 2s.-Acting Sec
retary Fairchild has authorized the free
entry of certain mummies now held in the
New York custom house. The collector of
customs at Philadelphia has submitted for
the decision of the Treasury Department
a question as to what shall be considered
the country of expectation in the case of
certain Persian woods which arrived at
Philadelphia from London consigned to
local merchants. The appraiser estimated
the dutiable value of the wool at its mar
ket value in London on the date of expOr-
tation TO the United States. The importers
protested against this action. They rep
resented that the merchandise was
purchased at Bagdad for ship
ment at BuSSorap to port
in the United States directly as a means of
transportation would allow, London being
only q port of transhipment, occasioned
by the fact that there is no direct commu-
nication berween BuSsOrap and Philadel-
phia. They hold, therefore, that the
market value of the wool at BusSorap at
the date of expectation is the value to be
estimated for the purpose of fixing the
classification of the wool. Ia letter to
the collector at Philadelphia on the sub
iect, Acting Secretary Fairchild says that
under the provisions OF the wool schedule
the duty on wOols is dependent upon 1.-THE
value ut the last port or place whence i'm
ported 10 the United States" The func-
tions OF the appraisers are therefore he says
restricted to the finding of the last port OF
shipment which they by all reasonable
means in their power, and from this deci.
sion the only remedy accorded importers is
TO reappraisement

TERRIFIED MINERS.
Caye-In near Scranfon-The Earth Torn as
Ifby an EarthquAke.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 2S.-Fearful
rumhling of the earth, and the swaying to
and fro of the homes of hundred miners
near PittstOn station, on the Delaware
and Hudson railroad, about 430 O'Clock
this morning, aroused the inmates from
their slumbers and hurried them out doois.
Some thought terrific earthquake was
passing through the valley, but the more
experienced said it was the caying in OF
one of The mines in the vicinity, the omi-
nous cracking OF the earth having become
familiar to those who had gone through
similar Experiences.
Day had not yet come, but the sturdy
miners buried out to learn where the dis
aster was located. Instantly there was a
tremendous crash of timbers and they saw
the great breaker of the Fairmount colliery
tumbling in pieces into the cavernous holes
which the cave-in had produced all around
it.
The surface for hundleds of feet either
way was disturbed, and they were Obliged
TO hesitate going near lest they should fall
in one Of the man pits or open crevices
which the cavern produced.
The tsacks of the railroad company were
destroyed for many feet and a transfer OF
passengers was required all day. The de-
preston varies from ten to fifteen feet,
while in some places holes have been pro-
duced which are thirty to forty feet deep.
1t is estimated that all the inside work.
ings of the mine are destroyed and that
all the mules stabbed therein are either
killed or sutfocated, as ventilating fans are
made useless by the disaster. Fortunately no
miners homes were destroyed by the dis
aster, but they are fearful of the cave-in
spreading, and many are preparing to
move from the vicinity OF the ruined sur
face.
The loss to the coal company will reach
over 100000, besides making the colliery
utterly useless for the present for mining
